CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 671,545, dated April 9, 1901.

Application led January 3 19012 Serial No. 41,967. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC FREED,a citizen of the United States, residing at Harrisburg, in the countyof Dauphin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and use-v ful Improvements in Cuit-Holders; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to cuff-holders.

One object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which shallbe simple in construction, durable in use, and comparatively ineXpensive of production, especial provision being made for adjusting the cuff lengthwise the sleeve,whereby the cui may be exposed any distance below the sleeve or may be adjusted above the lower edge of the sleeve to be out of view and out of the way.

With this and other minor objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described,and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. Y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis view showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the Gulf-holder. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view.

of which constitutes a xed jaw provided with a pin 8.

9 denotes bearing-studs projecting upward from the bar, and 10 and l1 denote levers pivoted to the bearing-studs and having their outer ends terminating in jaws corresponding to andcoacting with the fixed jaws. The pivoted jaws preferably have sockets 12, with which the pins of the fixed jaws engage. The pivoted jaws are held in operative position with the tixedjaws by a bow-spring 13,

secured to the Xed bar, and the inner ends of the pivoted jaws project toward each other and nearly touch and are shielded by a guardbail 14:, which will prevent the accidental disengagement of the holder from the cuff or sleeve by a person leaning or bearing against an object.

In use the pin of each jaw is inserted, one through the buttonhole of' a cuff and the other through the eyelet of the shirt-sleeve, and the pivoted jaws closed down in engagement with the pins. In this position the cuff is securely locked in place and will not slip in its adjusted connection with the shirt-sleeve.

By the employment of a guard-bail should a person lean against a fiat object, such asa wallor a desk, the inner ends of the springactuated levers will be prevented from being compressed. This is a very important point in the present invention.

From,the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and mode of operation of my improved culi-holder will be readily nnderstood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be Amade within the scope of the invention with- 2. A cuit-holder comprising a bar having iiXed jaws and pins projecting from its opposite ends, spring-actuated levers pivoted to said bar and having jaws provided with seats to receive said pins, and a guard-bail carried by said bar and embracing the inner adjacent ends of said levers to protect the same from accidental compression, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set Y my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses. Y

ISAAC FREED. Witnesses:

H. G. HOGENTOGLER, H. H. FREEBURN.
